the consensus. the opinions the. cubes the stories get in the. access to.

well. the speed. with. all of this so. i. find i'm a little. i guess. i work for i think my father is seen to be way

you leader and assistance of the man i'm speaking with here vice president of seat anyway district one chris shelton one of the groups c.w.a. represents the rising waters and as of june two thousand and twelve the horizon workers he represents have been working without a contract for over a year except this round of contracts is different the rising is trying to break the union everything my father worked for his whole career could be gone within his lifetime so many diverse people whom he walks up like that recognize that we are the not percent of the time of record profits of rights it is us to the very same people that have made them look at the rich corporations that they now want to go to will benefit settable from up they want to feel their eyes that it should be the poster child for corporate greed because of all the money they make and what they're trying to do to us and everybody else at the bar you say it's about saving a million dollars next year but what do you. this kind of go shouldn't is really about this kyra negotiation is about destroying our standard of living this is

cooperation is trying to get what they want that they were trying to get for the last twenty five years and we cannot let them and that's right occupy wall street smarts there's no message are exactly the same corporate greed is destroying this country that we cannot let it slip we have built very close ties with the communication workers before september seventeenth we were already supporting the phone workers and they responded by supporting us we went to their last rally at the headquarters they marched back to the park with us and some of them slept there they're going to be in a tough struggle that's why we're getting this relationship with labor labor scenes is relieved they are i never expected when i first started contacting unions that the response would be so enthusiastic but the labor movement has been kicked around now for quite a while and they have to fight and they see people fighting and they see their fighting the same enemy and they see them reaching out this movement has shown such

an eagerness to reach out to the mainstream of the american public and the unions represent the organized part of that the focus on the one percent and the first time in an american movement i don't even think in the thirty's that the communist party can dissin their mass work i don't even think they identify the enemy as the ruling class mr speaker. mr vice president. members of congress distinguished guests and fellow americans last month i went to andrews air force base and welcome home some of our last troops to serve in iraq. together we offered a final proud salute to the colors under which more than a million of our fellow citizens bought. and several thousand gave their lives. we gather tonight knowing that this generation of heroes has made the united states

safer and more respected around the world thank you. thank you to want to get a standing ovation from both democrats and republicans just to see the bottom line of the military industrial complex which just so happens the benefits of every congressional district in the country somebody really believes that the undisputed greatest mayor of violence in the world actually makes us safer and more respected i mean come on that kind of attitude is not concern anyone any nobel peace prizes or thank you distinguished members of the norwegian nobel committee it's citizens of america. and citizens of the world. i receive this hour with deep gratitude and great humility george orwell would have had

a hard time coming up with this are we really this delusional you see the more honest we are with ourselves about exactly what our foreign policy is the better chance we have to stop some of the truly horrific conditions it visits upon many of the people of the world so say it with me the us foreign policy is a blowback inducing homicidal bull in a cultural religious and geo political china shop change. there was handed. down. to the family. sitting. around. the world. it was not right. i served in iraq in two thousand and four in two thousand and six i was in the second battle of. allusion november two thousand and four as a human being and as

a person who has a heart i can't lie to myself anybody else and say that we had a reason to be there that there's a reason for the million iraqis that died in the five thousand troops said that we say we're the greatest country in the world but we go into you know people in their country but we don't stop genocide in africa we don't help people that we can help that would be the greatest country in the world if we can save a million people instead of killing them and if you're not convinced our foreign policy is morally bankrupt perhaps we should talk about money. in united states have need one point four trillion dollars for total war spending in iraq and afghanistan since two thousand and one never wondered what one point four trillion dollars would buy well it could be the annual energy costs for every household in america five years but i hear you saying that would not do very much to decrease our dependence on foreign oil there are enough. one point four trillion dollars could convert every home in america to one hundred percent solar energy. over

or it could convert every home in america to one hundred percent wind energy knowing times over for groceries for everyone in the country free for two years or to provide scholarships to every college student in america and award them a fifty five hundred dollar grant seven times over the war turn all volunteer firefighters into full time employees and pay them a full salary for twenty three years or pay the full time salaries of every public school teacher for the next six years instead we took one point four trillion dollars pay a small black ops team to hunt track and kill osama bin laden. we even had money left over in the budget to decimate two countries launch are still it is resulting in over one million innocent civilians dead and counting ask yourself how many orphans are going to be clenched fists tonight in afghanistan or iraq who grow up

willing to fly a plane into the building and how many trillions are we prepared to spend on avenging that. you can do everything go to school and not just go to school but excel in school work really really hard and i graduated and really had the feeling a lot of the time very consciously in my head that. i might as well. you know i mean. was there reason for me to be in debt good evening of all the time bombs in the american economy set to explode with dire consequences this is a big one staggering debt from student loans everyone is told a college education is a way to get ahead college tuitions though keep going up so does the borrowing and we just hit an awful milestone our nation's combined student loan debt has now hit . one trillion dollars that averages out to twenty four thousand per student it's

now larger than credit card debt in this country and it comes just as an entire generation is just starting out. the. thank. god i. was to. get a year ago anybody would have predicted that. every thousand we would have. our young people out of the streets in new york city. because something is we

journalists on t.v. i hear. oh it's just the. he has so many. people being on a global stage with affordable education yet you think it is a challenge just because there is in fact the whole student loan debt credit card debt when congress raises the loan limits schools respond to those increased loan limits by raising tuition because they think that students can afford to pay more because they're actually allowed more money nobody really has the option to expect to get a comfortable john. not go to college we don't have an unskilled workforce anymore we are for the workforce that we have right now it's socially irresponsible not to

go to school because the entire workforce is predicated on higher education i think our education system hasn't caught up to our economy and that's one of the problems and that that's where this problem is coming and that's why people are speaking up that's why that why i'm here there are no bankruptcy protections for any student loans this is the only one and all of us history that you can't ever default on you can ever just charge this with a car seat the idea of do you debtors union is based on a labor union model and what they did effectively when our economy was very different when there was so-called unskilled labor day negotiated with the factories for better working conditions so that they could go back to work just that same way you do you debtors union you could renegotiate a better contractor arrangement with our lenders so that we can repay our loans it's employing an autonomous strategy of refusal so you were fused to do something you're saying no to something in favor of making things better.

how do. you. write code like this you know it's really about who you believe and the sooner we come to know the we'll just all these effects are so many also whether it's b.p. . oil or. the tar sands i think that the size of florida is from an alberta i was really interested in the tar sands protests this summer because to see thousand plus people getting arrested like that willfully is pretty amazing fred a mess. it's tar sands oil is out of the gulf in order to get tarzan going

out you ask to destroy it and so i think that you know find some of the pipeline but what happens after that you know another standoff with big oil i think so i think so i don't think it's the environment going to magically go itself because we stop the pipeline and the thing about the pipeline and one reason that makes this so urgent that that nasa scientist james taylor said brokaw boy originally a few decades back or whatever says the pipe early it will be. game over means i didn't i mean you know how to boil right.

key.

today. these are the images.

we. take a piece. we're reading it as we go. and i think that until the people who are the naysayers come down and actually get all. there's. a good dose of rarity here still steve bruce isn't worth the dime and we want people to be able to believe it's going to take time. we can't force it we're not ready to. because we see a better world. we'll be. you know this organization the second that any american

dreams. were created. in style put in a fiction you know. i hear or see this intervention at the end you know the show you all this stuff and then they sit around somebody who has issues and problems and they talk about you know how badly that person has done and what they're going to do if they don't change their behavior and for us we're dealing with folks who have a serious addiction to corporate money and think. that we can expect them to get off it on their own even on that in the smoking

a crack. crack you have to be very easily addictive somebody who was cool six years ago snuck up on a crack rock this is not the occupy movement has become a conduit to venue for talking about this corruption and so folks that move to amend the real. in my mind i. said in the bar for the critique that corporations are not persons property not speech constitutional rights are for people over eight hundred fifty six and dred scott the same supreme court so that people are property dred scott affirm slavery in two thousand the supreme court said property is people killed decisions i didn't say. was i was right i was thought for some time to talk to them telling

them how about. coming to the was a culmination of individuals organisations coming together with a secular purpose. to come to shul and then to make it clear. that they do not have been here emailing them about. money not political speech thanks. to ben fawley he was committing tempo's doctrines must feel like he cannot overturn could be punished and still allowed wealthy individuals just didn't have enough money oh thank you.

i. feel oh oh. these are the kind of. monstrosity look around at the power monopolies have you notice she's pulled a like this double our society shapes he gets me just like us use wiki excuses someone's gotta lose with some push for race to the wind as if it's not going to be all this big you know built on the backs of our morris brothers we're told forgotten the thing we're all taught by our mothers should have been a lot of the payoff. for all the hero is the most honorable son to the small of his . bronx like so much better if we just remember going to the races.

because. it was a cool was because he was. thank. god. that people are realizing that very least that the way our economic system currently runs is not democratic it's not beneficial to the vast majority of people and kill we have some kind of economic democracy where in the past majority of people in their communities and in their workplaces have more decisions over what these corporations do if we want to have corporations and all then political democracy is a sham in the you look at the military budget city of new jersey for you to spend

as much as the world somebody at a time when our infrastructure is literally a deep level grade according the american society of civil engineers we get it deep in their faces drip is the future of our economy very infrastructure is going to work and so the face of those two issues which are you just don't fear the one percent. in the military industrial complex suddenly we are solutions to the issues i mean there's money to invest in the new resisting the economy you know certainly there's money to reform it looms them out we see energy you can turn roads into solar panels that's not possible we think that's why we have our money in france and it. right me. right. that makes it obvious to some other target like the rest. of the earth like the red streak that we are right.

here. they say that the occupy movements major victory to date is that we have changed the conversation that people are now debating issues such as russian equality at this point i think we can all agree there is no debate there is inequity when it comes to well period full stop and it is growing and the super rich are not super rich because of some force of nature like summer morphing into fall or heat always going to be told they are super rich as a result of their active participation in or their willingness to be accessories to criminally rig the homicidal force of a system what the occupy movement has done and why people armed with nothing more

than an idea are being suppressed often violently is to acknowledge that most all of the issues are connected antiwar activists or through health care reform advocates or housing or labor rights advocates will thank the reform advocates you name it are now all shining a light on the root cause of inequities. see our foreign policy does in fact limit our options when it comes to health care reform a shareholder capitalism one that demands growth every quarter is directly contributing to the assault on collective bargaining issues the american dream itself the way it is understood by many as a mistress rags to riches anyone could be a millionaire greed is good grab the most toys before you die each rose should be you and i used for the greater good and the birth of a new american dream based on equity sustainability and the general welfare of the people should be brought into being and by people i mean people not corporations i was out here during the day before inauguration. it was

a martin luther king day. two thousand people total strangers were out of each other on the streets were having conversations across class and race lines and all the sudden we felt oh. well soz knew better but you can't there's no messiah going to get elected by this system and deliver hope and change we can believe so how will the occupy movement that has wisely stayed away from promoting political parties or individual politicians navigate the minefield of the potentially co-opting force that is the presidential election cycle now this year is just going to be nuts we've never seen this much money spent on a political process in the history of the world. and this comes at a time for a movement that is determinately to. this mad

influx of money and politics so it's going to be a really scary contrast and the challenge of this movement is to create a counter narrative is to show that the justice of its cause is more interesting than anything these candidates can put on television i mentioned at the beginning that this movie is an invitation for you to join the occupy. but there are no membership dues no papers to cite all that is required is the willingness to see the world as it is and decide that you are going to be part of the solution occupy is less of an organization and more of an organism a living breathing multi and force that refuses to find mishka will be pushed into a corner of this organism is still a baby and the narrative it will be telling in the years to come is yours to write what's your alternative that isn't to say to do you need you to listen to you have a limit to make up your kitty feel. to be disembodied until

you just didn't think you'd. just smile and. thankfully kind of said it better myself so when they say why occupy what will your answers the first time in decades people will really be discussing the world have to be this way and how can we bring a better world into this is still a whole lessons about life and freedom i still have a company that is coming back. and they knew they could same thing crazy actually i. think from then on.

choose your language. according to the cover though if they still come up. choose the consensus. choose the opinions that you think are a cool. choose the stories good in life choose the access

to your. wealthy british. markets why not scandals. find out what's really happening to the global economy. there are twelve cities in the united states in which half of the people with hiv aids lives within a year of a diagnosis of. over six to two percent of patients. with this is a problem that frankly is substantially preventable it was like the big elephant in the room and nobody wanted to talk about it there were really good public health campaigns that people were really focused on this problem you certainly should be able have a lot less a lot less human suffering. and
